Petrol - between £200 & £250 a month
Insurance - pay outright
Car paid for

If it needs new tyres, servicing or anything goes wrong then obviously some months can be expensive but mostly all I do is fill it with petrol

diesals are more expensive, i read sumwhere if you bought a brand new diesal it would take you 10 years to see any savings over the same petrol model, taking into account the increased car of the car in the first place, and the increased cost of diesal itself
